Samsung silenced those who doubted the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s video capture in one move

Galaxy Unpacked 2026 was full of surprises and fun moments as Samsung announced the Galaxy S26 series and the world’s first built-in privacy display on a smartphone. And for those who doubted the video capturing capabilities of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung had a very special surprise planned.

Galaxy S26 Ultra captured the entire event

Near the end of the event, it was revealed that all of Galaxy Unpacked 2026 was filmed and livestreamed on a Galaxy S26 Ultra. Similar to Apple announcing at the end of its events that they were recorded on a Pro model iPhone, Samsung basically just showed off how confident it is in its new phone.

AI enhancements and a new aperture

The Galaxy S26 Ultra supports powerful videography features and formats, but the most heavily marketed capabilities still remain the AI enhancements. Galaxy AI is capable of drastically improving any scene that is being captured on the phone, upscaling it flawlessly and brightening up dark environments.

It also helps, of course, that the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a new, wider aperture on the rear. This lets more light hit the sensor and, in turn, provides the phone with more visual data to work with. With these new upgrades in hand, Samsung deemed the Galaxy S26 Ultra ready to film all of Galaxy Unpacked, and it did not disappoint.
